The peri-implant mucosa (PIM) is formed during the wound healing process that follows implant and abutment placement. The PIM is known to play crucial roles in function; acting as a biologic barrier for bacterial infiltration and maintaining the mucosal health of the implant, and for implant esthetics. This narrative review presents: • Differences between periodontal soft tissue attachment and peri-implant mucosal tissue attachment • Development of the osseointegration and its effect on PIM • Different Implant – abutment interface configurations including one– VS two-piece implants, bone-level VS tissue-level implants, and PIM in different implant collar • Engineering in surface characteristics
